I’ve been sitting on these Patrick Wolf photos for a while now. You probably don’t know this, since time is relative online, but its taken me around two months since I photographed the event to post these up. The reason for this is because the end of the year is always a crazy time, and partly because I was pretty blown away to see this young performer.

Patrick Wolf is one of those enigmatic young performers shrouded in fine fashion and is a prophetic leader among his loyal following. Yup, Mr Wolf walks among us and is a pretty impressive wordsmith and performer.

These photos were taken at The Zoo on a night I witnessed not only a fine display of musical talents, but also how loyal his fans are.

The Zoo sits on a corner block in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. Outside there is a lane that runs parallel to the stage. There is no air-conditioning in the venue, so large windows back open into the lane, sitting outside is a bit like sitting in front of your own personal stereo.

Later in the night I met a friend in the lane who arrived late and couldn’t get in to see the show. Also in the lane were a group of guys singing and not missing a beat to the music flooding from the venue. But the thing is, they were sitting in bushes. Not on the concrete foot path, but in among the city variety of brush that seems to never die. Yes Patrick Wolf is that good you’d lay in a bush just to hear him.
